How the Glitch Stole SOC-mas
This section introduced the event’s narrative: a cybersecurity-themed tale about the town of Wareville’s preparations for SOC-mas, where a mysterious hacker known as the Glitch emerges to protect the town from an evil mayor’s sinister plans. The story sets the stage for a Christmas-themed cyber adventure beginning December 1.
We recommend exploring the engaging, comic-style storytelling in full, as it establishes an exciting premise for the challenges ahead.
